But dialects or accents can vary quite a bit, and just about everybody agrees that the language they speak in Glasgow is really hard to understand. However, I wouldn&#39;t say that to anybody in Glasgow, because some of their police officers are the toughest looking cops I&#39;ve ever seen, and many of the young men in the poorer areas are, or were just a few years ago, heavily armed with knives... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-14946294674820274262017-02-12T04:26:36.399-05:002017-02-12T04:26:36.399-05:00&quot;My only regret is I didn&#39;t knock him on ...&quot;My only regret is I didn&#39;t knock him on his arse when I met him.&quot;<br /><br />What a fond old memory that brings to mind. My granddad used to say, &quot;Put him on his arse.&quot; His family farmed somewhere near the city of Perth. Does each locality have its distinctive choice of verb when expressing this typically Scottish sentiment?

Let&#39;s hope Justin Trudeau has something just as golden when he goes to visit Trump. Will it be a golden hockey stick or something I dare not mention.. ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-87350671924703587922017-02-11T09:15:47.753-05:002017-02-11T09:15:47.753-05:00hi Jack...I&#39;m glad you liked it.

I find it hard sometimes to laugh at Trump when he&#39;s in Scotland, because I know the coast line he&#39;s ruining like the back of my hand. But I can never get enough of that guy with the orange balloon rubbing the top of Trump&#39;s head, and making his hair stand on end... ;) Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-3586733412454476152017-02-11T09:10:59.348-05:002017-02-11T09:10:59.348-05:00hi TS...I&#39;m glad you liked it.
